Rezensionen

Magnificent . . . one of those rare works that is both definitive for the period it covers and fascinating to read for sheer entertainment. The New York Times Book Review

Theodore Roosevelt, in this meticulously researched and beautifully written biography, has a claim on being the most interesting man ever to be President of this country. Los Angeles Times Book Review

Spectacles glittering, teeth and temper flashing, high-pitched voice rasping and crackling, Roosevelt surges out of these pages with the force of a physical presence. The Atlantic Monthly

[Morris s] prose is elegant and at the same time hard and lucid, and his sense of narrative flow is nearly flawless. . . . The author re-creates a sense of the scene and an immediacy of the situation that any skilled writer should envy and the most jaded reader should find a joy. The Miami Herald

A monumental work in every sense of the word . . . a book of pulsating and well-written narrative. The Christian Science Monitor
